Motorbike tragedy

A motorcyclist has died after colliding with a semi trailer at Bung Bong on Wednesday morning.

The motorcyclist, a 24-year-old male from the local area, was travelling in a northerly direction along the Avoca-Talbot Road at 9 am on Wednesday morning, when his motorcycle collided with a semi trailer travelling in the opposite direction.

The narrow stretch of road the motorcyclist was travelling on opened into a wider stretch and it is believed the motorcyclist veered into the centre of the road and into the path of the oncoming semi.
